oatmeal [...] porridge

I've substituted a packet of ginger drink (powdered ginger and
sugar) for the brown sugar at times.

That's an interesting twist.

I also like multigrain Red River cereal; it's a mixture of cracked
wheat, cracked rye and crushed flax seeds. It's rather like your
Sunny Boy but more coarsely milled so it takes longer to cook and
retains its texture. It has much more flavour and structure than
oatmeal. 2 parts RR and 1 part cornmeal is tasty too.

I will not try to defend Cream of Wheat though.


Continuing the olive juice theme ...

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Jean B's Dilled Macaroni Salad
Categories: Salads, Pasta, Dairy
Yield: 4 Servings

2 c Elbow macaroni.
-cooked and drained
1 tb Chopped scallion
1/4 c Mayonnaise
1/4 c Sour cream or yogurt
1 tb Lemon juice
1 ts Salt
Dill weed
White pepper
Minced green olives
Green olive juice
Dill for garnish

In a large bowl, combine the pasta and salad dressing. Blend
together remaining ingredients (all amounts to taste). Toss with
macaroni and chill. The macaroni will probably absorb some
dressing, so you may want to moisten it with more, with
approximately the same constituents. Garnish with more
dill-possibly fresh.

I am apt to add some hard-boiled egg too--actually, I am
usually too lazy to look for the recipe and sort-of wing it.

I do like adding sour cream or yogurt to mayo but I wouldn't mix
dill and olives in the same dish. Maybe celery and green pepper
with olives or diced cucumber with dill. - JW

Tasted quite nice, too... Just one of those hmmm, wonder how that would
taste thoughts originally... but worked very nicely... :)

Not familiar with Sunny Boy, either... although I've seen similar cereal mixes... ;) Sounds intriguing... :)

What about Wheatena....? ;) At one point, I was making that, and
mixing in an egg at the end... enough heat in the cereal to cook the
egg, and it gave it a creamy texture.... :)

I'd be willing to try that combo of dill and olives... perhaps dill
would be better with black olives....? :)

So I wiki'd it and it turns out to be Canadian too.

Whereas that's an American brand not seen here. (I've never come
across it.) Not everything gets marketed cross border.

I use Red River in bread too. For 2 small loaves made with 4 cups of
flour I will use:

1 1/2 c white flour (needed for decent leavening)
1 c whole wheat floor
1 c rye flour
1/2 cup Red river cereal (raw)

If I ever made this I would skip the rice and lentils ...

Title: Whole-Grain Breakfast Cereal
Categories: Low-fat, Grains, Breakfast
Yield: 80 servings

1 c Whole wheat berries
1 c Whole rye berries
1 c Whole triticale
1 c Whole barley
1 c Brown rice
1 c Buckwheat groats
1 c Millet
1 c Sesame seeds
1 c Flaxseed
1 c Lentils
10 c Oat groats

I mix it up, then cook a pot of it by measuring 2 cups of cereal
to 5 cups of water, bringing it to boil, & then letting it sit
over night. Then I have a bowlful each morning, heated in the
microwave until the cooked cereal is gone and I need to make more.
Or you could do the same with a smaller amount, for one serving,
say, try 1/4 cup of cereal. It's very chewy and satisfying. And of
course lots of whole grains. Sometimes I just use oatmeal instead
of oat groats, since they are difficult to find and I like the
consistency that oatmeal adds.

That could explain it... ;) The Red River actually sounds vaguely
familiar, but maybe I'm just thinking of something similar...

What about Wheatena....?

Whereas that's an American brand not seen here. (I've never come
across it.) Not everything gets marketed cross border.

It's a whole grain hot cereal sorta similar to Cream of Wheat, but much tastier... We get the occasional Canadian product here, being not that
far from the border....

I use Red River in bread too. For 2 small loaves made with 4 cups of
flour I will use:
1 1/2 c white flour (needed for decent leavening)
1 c whole wheat floor
1 c rye flour

I probably would too... or at least the lentils...

Dunno if I've seen that... but I can see where learning to eat good
solid nutrition laden foods would help stabilize one...

... Every load of bread is grain that could have become beer but

I'm sure that is loaf of bread, not load.... ;) And one can turn that
around just as well, every bottle of beer is grain that could have
become bread but didn't... ;)
